Nassarius aff. goreensis (2)
A nice specimen of an undescribed Nassarius species.
This Nassarius species isn't described yet, but recognized as separate from other species. It looks a lot like the modern Nassarius goreensis from the southeastern Atlantic Ocean (Angola), but still has some differences, hence why I (and many paleontologists) put the 'aff.'. When the new species is given a name I will update this one. For now you should label it as either Nassarius sp or N. aff. goreensis.
Status: extinct (new species)
Fossil occurrence: uncommon
WoRMS synonym (for Nassarius goreensis): Tritia goreensis (Maltzan, 1884)
